Observe Passover

[Ex. 12:42] It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
Observed – the Passover (L-d’s table), stranger (non-believer), circumcised (of the heart, today).
PASSOVER (PESACH)
1. The lamb must be without blemish, an in testing this it was kept for 4 days. 12: 5-6.
2. The lamb thus tested must be slain (12:6; John 12:24; Heb. 9:22)
3. The blood must be applied. 12:7
4. The blood thus applied of itself, without anything in addition.
5. To observe the feast was a duty and privilege but not a condition of safety.
6. Must be kept as a memorial throughout your generations. 12:14
We were commanded to keep Passover (not Easter). The believer in the Messiah is saved by the blood of “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8) and is strengthened daily by feasting on the Word - the living word, the Messiah, and the written Word, the Scriptures.
The Passover was the first of the 3 annual festivals held in Nisan, 14th to the 21st. A lamb was roasted whole - not a bone of it to be broken - and eaten entirely, the same night with hitter herbs, (signifies bitterness in bondage). If not all of it was eaten, the remnant was to be burnt. The blood of the victim was to be sprinkled on the door-post.
The Rabbis affixed the penalty of whipping to anyone who should not kill the Pascal lamb in the court of the temple, and separated the people into three companies at the time to avoid confusion. The killing trumpets were blown and the Hallel was sung by the Levites.
The position of setting down to the meal or recline was adopted by the Hebrews as a sign of their freedom. The use of wine had no place in the original institution, but was sanctioned by Y’Shua in His Passover (known as the last supper).
The wooden beams of the door post were a foreshadow of the cross, and it became the
Doorpost for the world’s home. G-d promises to pass over us with His judgment of death as we are willing to stand under its protection.
The Passover meal is called the Seder which means order. Leaven represents sin, and unleavened bread is called the Matzo. It is striped and has holes in it. “By His stripes we are healed, pierced.” They shall look upon Him whom they have pierced,’ pure, without leaven, as His body was without sin.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread: Y’Shua was buried at the beginning of the Feast since His body was interred at sundown of Passover day. He was placed on the cross at 9 am, the third hour, and taken down at 3 pm. There was then time enough to wrap the body and bury it at sundown. The answer to why He died in 6 hours is that all the time He could spear for our L-rd never omitted a feast.
G-d said this was to be celebrated always, he did not day just the Jews, but all who believe in Him and want to follow His commandments. Y’Shua himself celebrated each of G¬-d’s holidays, since He was brought up in a good Jewish home, and setting the example for us to follow.
